Have no idea if Goldy will be back, but looking increasingly unlikely. Strikes me that almost all of Jimbo's first round reclamation projects have flopped....Goldobin only the latest.....you can add in the likes of Sutter, Gudbranson, Pouliot and even Baertschi who has been 'average' even when he's healthy.
And then there's the second and third rounders from other organization that he acquired....guys like Vey, Pedan, Clendening, Etem, Leipsic, Dahlen and even Motte. I can't decide if it's poor pro scouting or just whether Jimbo scouted these guys in junior and is still star gazing with the potential they showed in amateur ranks.
Is guess sooner or later the Canucks will actually 'hit' on one of these failed draft picks from other organizations. But until then they'll be a lot more Goldy's and Pouliots' unfortunately.
